Ah yes, but when you're coming up to motorway roadworks in your white van you can block the people who think they are so important that they can drive ( In lane 3 ) to the front of the queue, past all those people in lanes one and two who have filtered in and are patiently waiting.

Not that I would ever do that of course, as it's illegal to obstruct the billy big boots of this world.

LOL...I had this the other day, some bloke in a big people carrier started getting shitty with everyone going up the outside lane, so he moved acros to block everyone.

Problem was he was a good 800-1000m away from the merge, which I think is a little OTT...everyone started diving down his inside instead until the point where he couldn't get back in for sometime!!!!

Quality.

I'll add PlusNet to the list of cr@p ISPs. I spent over 5 hours on hold, over the course of five days, trying to get through to them. Then changing my broadband connection from one flat to another took 22 days (!!!!) because I kept my same telephone number apparently.

I'll also agree that O2 is a nightmate. I wanted to upgrade my phone, but they weren't carrying the model I wanted. So I was off to Vodafone, who then wanted a £150 deposit! Hang on...... I'm a new customer for you, don't you want my business, I'm willing to sign up for 12 months, I've been with O2 for over 5 years, kept the same mobile number, always paid my bills and you want a £150 security deposit?????? I stuck with O2 and got a new phone that I didn't want.

Also add to the list:

- Cars/vans/buses that run red lights. A bus ran a red light from my left this morning. Bus was turning right. When my light turned green I moved away from the line and then had to brake sharply to avoid said bus. Then....... I had to walk the bike backwards to allow the bus enough room to complete its right hand turn. Why oh why didn't the damn thing just stop on the organge/red instead of creating a bloody problem for everyone.

- Vehicles that refuse to indicate. I don't care if you're turning left, right or even just changing lanes. Use an indicator for forks sake.

- Pedestrians that step out from infront of large vehicles (buses especially). Use a crossing you idiot! That's what they are there for. Don't make me hit you.

- Pedestrians that cross at crossings when their light is red. Mine is green! That means go. I go. Yours is red. That means stop. You stop! Idiots........

Ban them all!

Phew, glad I got that out.

Oh I have more............

There's a right turning lane into my place of work - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...00339&t=k&om=1

See it there on that map? See how close it is to the A40? There's no right turn onto the A40 just before the flyover (bottom of map) Now how many people do you think use this right hand turn lane to do a U-Turn to get back onto the A40? There's a great big boody sign that says "No U-Turn for 150 Yards." How many of the people doing U-turns do you think bother to use their indicator?

At least twice a week I use my horn at some moron doing a U-Turn directly infront of me. Read the signs! Follow the law!

All I want is one police officer to be there for one week handing out tickets for illegal U-turns. That'd put an end to it.
